Cecil Pearson's Metisse Jap
Cecil has JAP engines in his heart, so when he has decided to build his own scrambler his engine choice was obvious, JAP.
He has ordered Metisse frames from Adrian Moss and with some modification they fitted nicely JAP engines coupled with AMC gearbox.
The bike looks and performs fantastic,runs on methanol and weighs in at 125kg. So far Cecil has built five such bikes which run under the banner of the JAP RACING TEAM.
